Raked Pods

The next generation in the Pod series. We take the threaded pod and add a raking technique, where we drag a tool across the lines while hot. This pulls the threaded lines in whatever direction we drag the tool. The interior color fades from a gold ruby to a lemon yellow on the inside, with an archaic Zimmerman yellow on the outside.

Archaic Raked Pod, Fuscia/Citroen, Sandblasted

Each is roughly 8" across and 5 1/2" high. A rich gold ruby at the lip, with lemon yellow at the base. The outside is threaded and raked with an archaic yellow. Finished with a light abrasive to give more texture to the surface. The overall impression is softer and lighter.

Archaic Raked Pod, Glossy

Gold Ruby at lip, Citroen at base. Wrapped and raked in Archaic yellow. The surface is glossy and clear which allows more light transmission. The effect is that more detail is cast with the light, giving a venetian blinds look to the colorful shadow.

Measures 8" x 5 1/2"

The pattern is applied as a micro thin wrap on the skin of the bubble. The surface is super-heated and raked with a metal knife, dragging the concentric lines the direction of the tooling...then it's finished with the Balster "qualitatsarbeit"!
